Robert the Bruce, or Robert I of Scotland, was King of Scots from 1306 - 1329. Following in the footsteps of William Wallace, he led the Scottish Wars of Independence against England, and became one of the most renowned warriors of his generation. He is considered a national icon of Scotland.

Bruce was the fourth great-grandson of David I of Scotland, giving him his right to the Scottish throne.

Bruce was the grandson of Robert de Brus, 5th Lord of Annandale. He was close to his grandfather growing up, and Brus, who had attempted to claim the Scottish throne during the Great Cause, was a major influence on the young Bruce.
